The three year hiatus is over and Greek comic fans will once more be given a taste of comics from around the world in the 14th Athens International Comic Festival until November 11th. Amidst protest and discord in the city, the event will hopefully bring a positive atmosphere and an opportunity to escape the negative atmosphere.

After a three-year absence, the 14th Athens International Comic Festival is now back on track during the country’s economic crisis and is running through Nov. 11 at Diplareios School (Theater Square 3, Psirri). The exhibition theme is entitled Áíôï÷Þ Õëéêþí, The Strength of Materials.
